Forager Brewery | 9th Anniversary Showcase
December 2, 2024 | Eric Griffin
It’s been about two and a half months since Forager Brewing’s 9th Anniversary Foragerfest celebration, and people are still buzzing about the bottles released for the occasion. Free to attend and open to all ages, Foragerfest has become hugely popular over the years, and people have traveled from near and far to Rochester, Minnesota to get a taste of the one-off barrel-aged offerings, live music, and artisan markets that have become so popular at the event. Austin Jevne and the team were generous enough to send us the full lineup from this year to review and share on PorchDrinking, and we can’t thank them enough for allowing us the chance to share the experience with our readers.

October 31, 2024 | Zeke Ottemiller
DelaWeAre, a statewide collaboration organized by the Delaware Brewers Guild, returns this fall. Fourteen breweries from across the Small Wonder will be releasing their version of the beer in the coming days. Stout season is in full swing in the First State, so brewers have worked up a rendition of this style. Beer drinkers might assume something dark, roasty and heavy. However, Stout is a pretty broad category, so expect to see a variety of ABVs, IBUs and even SRMs across Delaware.

It’s alarming at how quickly time has passed since highlighting Pulpit Rock Brewing Co.’s EIGHT Imperial Stout, one of a handful of beers released as part of its eighth anniversary celebration last August. Year nine for the small Iowa brewery has mirrored this fast pace, as it has continued to grow in popularity and also increased its barrel-aged production. On April 16, the brewery announced a save-the-date for its highly sought after $ticker $hock barrel-aged Imperial Stout. $ticker $hock hasn’t seen a new vintage since 2020, and we’ve collaborated with head brewer Justin Teff and the team in Decorah to provide PorchDrinking readers an exclusive sneak peek at the 2024 iteration ahead of its July 13 public release.
